A&P Fiscal Buckeye Wellness Innovators Camille Mack and Ted Tobler packed wellness goodie bags to share some #BuckeyeLove with their fiscal team in February. Filled with sunglasses, stress balls, dimensions of wellness handbooks and sweet treats, the colorful wellness bags were distributed during a team gathering at an area restaurant where the team enjoyed a tasty, balanced meal.

Administration and Planning (A&P) is committed to supporting a culture of care and well-being at Ohio State. A&P's Buckeye Wellness Innovator (BWI) team supports these efforts by creating awareness of wellness resources and opportunities for A&P staff to take advantage of.

Office of Administration and Planning (A&P) staff are encouraged to donate food and toiletries in February to support Buckeye Food Alliance, Ohio State's student food pantry. A list of needed items and drop-off locations is listed below. Donations will be collected at select A&P locations from February 9 to February 23 and delivered to the pantry.

In January, Facilities Information and Technology Services (FITS) gathered to enjoy a balanced lunch while enjoying a health coaching webinar. Sean Moodie, architectural systems coordinator and A&P buckeye wellness innovator, polled the team to determine the preferred wellness webinar topic.

The university-wide Buckeye Love celebration runs February 12-16 and continues throughout the year. A&P departments are encouraged to share their BuckeyeLove in unique and meaningful ways.

Like last year, A&P departments can order Sheryl’s cookies and printed materials to help spread the love. Workday tags and fiscal contact information are required. All orders should be coordinated first with area managers / supervisors.

The A&P Fiscal team put their cooking skills to the test alongside OSU Health Coaches Jessica Hernandez and Lindsay Atwood during an October healthy food demo event. Attendees were assigned different food prep stations and worked together to prepare a variety of delicious fall favorites. The meal celebrated the current season and included use of fresh produce like pumpkin, butternut squash, beets, arugula and fresh apples.

Enhance your career wellness through the Office of Administration and Planning's (A&P) Operational Excellence (OE) / Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training. A&P staff may register to attend two half-day training sessions to learn about OE and to explore their interest in participating on a process improvement team. Sessions are free to registered A&P staff.

Staff should coordinate with their supervisor about participating in advance of registration.

A&P Buckeye Wellness Innovators teamed up with the A&P Diversity and Inclusion Council to host a cooking demo and presentation about food affordability to learn about economical, healthy food options.

Facilities Operations and Development (FOD) Team Heart and Sole raised nearly $3,000 for the 2023 American Heart Association Central Ohio Heart Walk. Twenty-four members from Administration and Planning (A&P) and FOD made up the team, which was led by Mark Conselyea and Kristin Poldemann.
